5 released WWE Superstars Vince McMahon should bring back soon

WWE recruits new talent every once in a while. If a wrestler matches WWE’s standards, he will debut on the main roster. Otherwise, that Superstar will work on their developmental brand first.

Vince McMahon prefers experimenting with his Superstars to see whether they can hang on the main roster. Jinder Mahal, for instance, received a WWE Championship run since gaining an athletic physique. However, it didn't work well.

Jinder is now a lower-mid card Superstar and unlikely to receive a push soon. Meanwhile, Vince has released some talents who didn’t benefit the product. Some took it as a compliment and became better, while others are yet to mend themselves.

Following are five former WWE Superstars Vince McMahon should rehire.

#5 Big Cass

Recently, Big Cass reunited with Enzo Amore

WWE Officials had big hopes from Big Cass. While Cass had the potential to become a top villain, backstage issues led to his unfortunate departure.

Speaking to Booker T, the now-released Superstar said this:

If I’m going to be honest with you, I made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes in a very short period of time. I did some things that I shouldn’t have done. I guess the company couldn’t rely on me and couldn’t trust me. Look, I’ll just be honest with you, in my opinion, they made the right decision for them. It was the right decision to get rid of me at that point in time - not to say I won’t be back - but at that point in time, they definitely made the right decision for them.

Cass realized his mistakes which means he won't repeat them. However, this isn't the only reason why he deserves another chance. The former WWE Superstar is also a great in-ring performer and could quickly become a top heel. It will reinforce WWE's heel roster which is “best for business.” For now, we have to wait until Cass' ROH contract expires after which he could possibly return to WWE.

#4 Tye Dillinger

Tye Dillinger joined WWE in 2006 and spent three years with the company before leaving. Four years later, he returned to WWE and enjoyed massive success in NXT. Despite not winning any championship, The Perfect 10 Superstar became a fan-favorite.

Three years later, WWE sent him to the main roster. Fans had huge expectations from Dillinger but he disappointment everyone. Every once in a while, he wrestled against top-tier Superstars, but only in a losing effort.

On February 20, Dillinger revealed that he had asked for his release. A few days later, WWE officially terminated his contract. The Canadian Sensation now performs as Shawn Spears in the independent circuit.

However, it doesn’t block him from Vince McMahon’s company entirely. Dillinger is a great performer and if he improves significantly, then WWE could sign him again. Rather than working on the main roster, he could rule the 205 Live brand or even NXT.

#3 HoHo Lun

HoHo Lun could be a new name to many fans. The former WWE Superstar first appeared in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic and then on NXT. HoHo didn’t earn fame through his work in WWE, but his matches in the independent circuit proved him worthy. The Hong Kong-born Superstar joined Vince McMahon’s company in 2016, but a year later, he left it.

Speaking to WWE.com, HoHo revealed his reason for leaving the performance center:

I went to Hong Kong for vacation about three weeks ago, and that’s when I realized that my mother is sick. That’s why I decided to tell Matt Bloom, the head coach of the PC, that I wanted to request my release.

HoHo now works in the independent circuit, and if circumstances allow, WWE should resign him. It’s been almost two years since he left and contracting him again could strengthen WWE’s cruiserweight roster.

#2 Emma

WWE released Emma due to multiple reasons

WWE released Emma in 2017, probably because of heat with WWE officials. It came as a shock to WWE fans, and this is what she said:

I was definitely surprised. I really enjoyed my match with Asuka at the pay-per-view, and that was the first singles match [on pay-per-view] that I had there. So I was definitely surprised when I found out, but it gave me almost like a launching pad to go out and wrestle for all these companies elsewhere.

Emma joined ROH in 2018 and continued working for them till the end of the year. She is currently on a hiatus due to multiple diseases and injuries but is expected to return soon. WWE could rehire Emma and repackage her with a new gimmick. She could become a mainstay on the women’s division, if given a better gimmick than what she had been given in the past.

#1 Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio left WWE in 2016. After his departure, he made many controversial comments regarding Triple H and Vince McMahon.

Del Rio also worked for Impact Wrestling but got fired when he didn’t show up on one of their major shows. However, it seems like Vince McMahon could offer him a contract soon. Speaking to Contralona TV, the former WWE Superstar said this:

Now everything is normal with them, I apologized and shook hands, even with Mr. Levesque, with whom I do not agree on many things, especially how things ended and how they were done [when he was fired in 2014], but I should never have crossed the line and disrespected him.

Alberto’s comments indicate that he could be returning to WWE soon. His last run felt underwhelming, but this time, things could change. The Mexican Superstar has proven his worth as a performer, and his presence would only help WWE with their Mexican fanbase.
